ST. CLOUD — The Southland boys basketball team suffered its first loss of the season as it fell 93-72 to No. 4 ranked St. Cloud Cathedral 93-72 in the St. Cloud Invite Thursday.

Cathedral (7-0 overall) opened the second half on a 9-0 run to go up 15, but the No. 10 ranked Rebels (7-1 overall) pulled to within six after a run of their own.

However, Cathedral’s seven-footer Conor Voss proved to be too much as he finished with 23 points and took over down the stretch.

“We battled well and it was much a closer game than 93-72,” Southland head coach John Thalberg said. “We played with them, but we just couldn’t finish them off. They’re a legitimate ranked team.”

Sam Klaehn led Southland with 21 points.

Southland 37 35 — 72

SCC 43 50 — 93

Southland scoring: Sam Klaehn, 21; Nick Schmitz, 19; Mike Goergen, 10; Luke Anderson, 8; Decker Bendtsen, 7; Alex Ruechel, 4; Chris Wolff, 2; Lee DeHoogh, 1
